Europe is well connected by planes, trains and buses. It is easy to take flights between major cities, especially if you start or finish in the UK, Ireland, Germany, or France — all countries where low-cost carriers offer cheap Europe flights. Trains run throughout mainland Europe and, since the Eurotunnel was constructed, also connect the UK to France. Check out www.raileurope.com for tickets and advice as well as interactive route maps. Buses (coaches) are readily available and a much cheaper way of travelling. However, they are typically a lot slower and often more uncomfortable than trains. Eurolines is a good low-cost coach operator to check. If you’re driving, consider renting a diesel car. Diesels often get better mileage and are a great deal in countries that subsidize diesel. Drive on the left in Ireland and the United Kingdom, and keep the speed below 130 kmph (80 mph) on the Autobahn. Even if you’re planning on travelling independently, check out tours as many (such as a one-day city or 14-day country tour) can be combined with independent travel.

Mainland Europe has an excellent rail and road network so the easiest way to get around is by car or train. Before you book flights to Europe, find out if your destination airport offers deals on car hire. If your travel plans are flexible, you can buy a cross-country rail pass. Buses are also a convenient and affordable way to get around, however, book tickets in advance if you are travelling between cities or countries to get the best deals. In terms of getting around cities, many large cities in Europe have a metro system along with other public transport connections. Once you have found cheap flights to Europe, it’s worth checking if multi-day travel passes are available at your destination.

Before you book flights to Europe, check entry restrictions and visa costs if applicable. Singaporean citizens do not need a visa to visit Schengen zone countries and other destinations like the UK, but must ensure their passports are valid for the duration of their stay. Singaporean passport holders do need to obtain a visa for some European countries such as Russia. If you are travelling to a country that does not use Euro currency, you may still get a better rate by exchanging your money to Euros and then exchanging to local currency upon arrival. Compare rates at currency exchange bureaus to get the best deal as airports may charge more expensive rates.
